It is an fairly accurate depiction of the time line of the events, but no so much for picturing the characters, since, naturally, it's from the democrats' point of view. Interestingly, James Bakers likes it while Warren Christopher does not.
It is not about who won or who lost, just like what David Boies said: "they won, we lost, we appeal." What's important is that even it is a chaotic and some time very unfair (viewed by many from both sides) process, it did went through and resolve peacefully (for US, sorry, the Iraqis) by the people chosen in earlier (and not so chaotic) elections.
In this, it showed how a democratic nation operates, not the best or fair solution, but a well oiled smooth running machine. And the Americans was cool enough (or they just don't care so much) about who will be the next president. They have the confidence that no matter whoever the President, the life will go on.
Well, Al Gore isn't the best leader. He may be the better of the two, but hay, who knows. As Michael Moore put it, "it turns out that Bush is not boring." Who would have thought of that. For Gore, he lost Tennessee, his home state where both him and his father were senators. Guess he didn't see that coming back biting him on the ass.
